Hey, NO women in media are real anymore. Just search for pictures of your favourate stars without makeup and/or airbrushing. They literally look like the girl next door, nothing special at all.
When I first saw the article, that's what I thought it was anyway. All babes in the media are digital already!! God bless Photoshop!!

Only When Digital Actors Have Q-factors (Score:4, Insightful)
Entertainers' "Q-Factors" are polled and tabulated quarterly (I think). These are the numbers that are ascribed to a celebrity's "popularity." The higher your Q, the higher fee your agent can negotiate.
Will there someday be persistent Idoru-esque CGI AI's with their own waxing and waning Q-Factors? Maybe. Just think of the Intellectual Property battles when studios try to copyright hairstyles, quirky smiles, and "attitudes!"

I don't get anti-GM. I just end up in sarcasm mode, nodding, yeah, like "naturally" bred farm animals and crops are so normal.
Because "natural" cows would "normally" need to produce 10-20 litres of milk every single day in the "wild", what with them having enormous litters of, erm, one or two calves every, erm, one year. Maybe, in the "wild", cows bathe their young in milk every day or something. Can't think of anything else they need that much milk for.
Or maybe, just maybe, COWS AREN'T NATURAL ANY MORE THAN POODLES OR MASSIVE FIELDS OF CORN OR ANY OTHER OF THE 99% OF FLORA AND FAUNA AROUND US WHICH HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY BRED FOR PURPOSE.
Selective breeding, genetic modification... it's just a question of historical perspective.
You can mod me down for ranting now. It's just that picture struck home- a real, live cow is no more "natural" than the photoshopped woman with four breasts in your picture!

Just what the average joe girl needs...comp from a chick made with photoshop, and a slider bar for increasing bust size.
I can hear it now:
Nerd "Yea she was ok, but she was eating my pizza and I could not tweak her breast any larger than a B cup."

The show is going to be mostly a larf, there'll be some genuinely good art mixed in with some quadruple D-cupped Valkyrie farces and Jessica Rabbit-esque wannabes but all in all the really good art is the stuff that'll win. And as for the pimply faced geek who can't get a girl - what's wrong with a little harmless fantasy here and there? I had a girlfriend who was willing to dress up as Wonder Woman for me (hot damn, one of the best nights of my life) and would have done Supergirl if other factors had not intervened (I'll still get a girl to do that one day). Fantasies are harmless unless they start defining or overwhelming your sexuality.
If they televise this show, I'll watch it, if they don't, I'll download it - I'll have a few laughs, look at some beautiful artificial women and then wistfully wish for a holodeck. No harm done.
Oh, and I wouldn't mind seeing a slightly spruced up Kate Archer - rowr!

Reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon:
Dogbert says: "I can predict the future by assuming that money and male hormones are the driving forces for new technology. Therefore when virtual reality gets cheaper than dating, society is doomed."
The last frame is dated "Year 2004" and has a woman at the door asking Dogbert, "Is Dilbert available?" to which Dogbert replies, "He's been in the Holodeck since March."

Feb. 2nd, 2004-
(Reuters)- Miss Digital World deletes herself after nude photo appears to press.
Internet Police today say they found the hard drive space where Aki Ross's Body has been found. Ross, crowned Miss Digital World, disappeared after winning the title, when the controversial website www.akirossnude.com opened up days after her crowning. Police say that members of Ross's development team could not find her anywhere. Police started the investigation moments after members of SquareSoft said she was missing, and was no longer found in the backups.
Police and authorities found Ross several days later in an abandoned and dilapidated part of an ancient server farm, the victim of an apparent self-inflicted deletion. CSI was dispatched to the server, but said there was little to investigate, as much of her was already overwritten. The lone artifact of her deletion was a READ ME file she left, explaining the pain of her nude renders had caused her, and that she never imagined that something so innocent in the early parts of her film career would come back against her later.
Aki Ross was four years old. Her film credits include Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and nothing else. The other cast members of Final Fantasy could not be reached for comment.
